[Bb] [G] [C]
[G] I got kicked off of Noah's Ark.
I [C] turned my cheek to one kind [G] remark.
That was true of everything but one [D] of me.
And [G] when the race came tumbling down, I held [C] my breath and I stood [G] my ground.
And I watched that ship [D] go sailing out [C] to sea.
[G] Take [C] it back, take it back.
[G] Oh no, you can't say that.
All of my friends are not dead.
[D] OMG, yeah, yeah, yeah, [G] dude.
Rocking on the stone, [C] the black wind [G] still blows.
Sweet revenge, sweet [D] revenge [C] without fail.
[G] I caught a Nile Sea on a plane.
[C] Enjoying English teacher half [G] insane.
Making up jokes about bicycle spokes and red [D]
balloons.
[G] So I called up my local DJ [D] [C] and he didn't have a lot [G] to say.
But the radio has [D] learned all of my [Am] favorite [G] booms.
Take [C] it back, take it back.
[G] Oh no, you can't say that.
All of my friends are not dead.
[D] OMG, yeah, yeah, yeah, [G] dude.
Rocking on the stone, the [C] black wind [G] still blows.
Sweet revenge, sweet [D] revenge without [C]
fail.
[G] The white meat is on the run.
[C] And the dark meat is far [G] too done.
And the milkman left me a note [D] yesterday.
[G] Get out of this town by noon.
[C] You're coming on way [G] too soon.
And besides that, [D] we never liked you [C] anyway.
[G] Take [C] it back, take it back.
[G] Oh no, you can't say that.
All of my friends are not dead.
[D] OMG, yeah, yeah, yeah, [G] dude.
Rocking on the stone, the [C] black wind [G] still blows.
Sweet revenge, [D] sweet revenge without [Am]
fail.
[G] Sweet revenge, sweet [D] revenge will [C]
prevail [Am] without [G] fail.
